With the iris recognition market set to grow from $676.6 million in 2016 to $4.1 billion by 2025, using that mug of yours to unlock everything from air travel to your bank account is on the horizon while phones and computers already on the market have embraced the literally eye-catching tech.

While the latest episode of The New York Daily News' exclusive webshow "World War E" with national security expert Mike Rogers looks at how hackers can already steal your fingerprints (video above), here's how other biometric security measures are either getting rolled out or already available to jump in your pocket.

The S8 and the S8+ are getting rave reviews already, though many enthusiasts can't get over Samsung's decision to place the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone so close to the smudge-loving camera lens.

Still trudging away at convincing people their products won't explode, Samsung hopes its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S8, figuratively catches fire this Friday when it goes on sale in the U.S., with iris scanning and facial recognition among its offerings.

Problematically, the facial recognition feature has been shown to get tricked by a picture of a user, though a phone unlocked using it can't activate the device's mobile wallet.

Meanwhile, a Samsung phone with iris scanning isn't entirely new, it's just that the last one ended up being banned from airplanes because apparently airlines don't like things that randomly detonate.

If you were ever interested in permanently cosplaying as Two Face, you could bring the Note 7 up to eye level to make a phone call or text a loved one that it was nice knowing them, but you've decided to keep owning a Note 7.

Beating out fingerprints and iris-based security measures, facial recognition systems appear to be the next big costly upgrade at every international airport in the country.

As the Verge reports, Customs and Border Protection had been considering which route to go, but the fact that they already have the face of every visa holder already on file suggests facial recognition would be the easiest to implement.

Currently, the CPB hopes to use the technology to better track when and where visa holders leave the country since there's actually no way of knowing the number of visitors who are staying past the time their visa expires.

Say cheese and Hello

Biometrics are already becoming big business.

Opening your laptop with your eyeball isn't catching on as quickly as with smartphones, but Microsoft has at least made sure the option is there if you want it.

With Windows 10 came Windows Hello, a feature that allows you to sign in with your face or finger - assuming your computer supports it, which many don't.

Regardless, the Seattle-based monolith of consumer technology is plowing ahead, with Hot Hardware reporting this week that Microsoft applied for a patent that will improve the security of iris recognition software.

The enhancement promises "liveness testing" that would hopefully circumvent someone holding up a picture of an eye based on several factors, including "whether a light reflection is visible in images captured by the IR sensor."

Eyeing your wallet

Banks are banking on ATM innovations that can circumvent credit card skimmers.

Though revolutionary two years ago, Citibank's reveal of a working ATM that required a glance instead of a swipe turned out to pose more problems than potential.

"People's jaws dropped," Mark Gilder, Citibank's director of ATM distribution in the United States, told the New York Times this past February. "They thought it was magical. You just had to look at the machine, and money would come out."

The Times reports that Citibank backed away from the enchanting cash-granting contraption in part because of the potential disaster in store for customers if hackers could easily imitate someone's iris since eyeballs are harder to reissue than a thin piece of rectangular plastic.

Citibank has since denied this, with pubic affairs representative Drew Benson telling the Daily News, "We decided not to pursue an iris scanner for a variety of reasons ranging from logistical to operational, but a fear of hackers imitating irises wasn't one of them."

For now, they're focusing more on cardless ATMs that can be accessed using a mobile wallet.
